A Whole Lotta Drew...

We have had a busy past week or so. It seems like I have a lot to pack into one post. :) I have gone back to work part time for The Bank of Fayetteville. So Drew and I spent last week in Fayetteville. I worked at the bank and Drew spent some quality time with Grampy and Grammy. We will see how I can handle working from home with an almost 2 yr old!

If you have eaten a meal with Drew, then you can hear him saying, "mmmmm."

He had a big time playing in the yard yesterday afternoon. We were out there almost two hours!

Tired after a couple of hours of playing hard. :)

Drew was happy to see his daddy last night! After dinner, he drank his milk while watching football with his daddy. It reminded me of a picture when he was much smaller.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great Labor Day weekend! We left on Friday for Houston to stay with the Stroh's. It was great to see the boys together again. Friday night we had takeout from Pappasito's, our favorite Mexican restaurant from Houston. Saturday, we left Drew with Nate and Kim and headed to Marble Falls just outside of Austin for our friend Vani's wedding. It was fun to catch up with some friends and spend some time with Hal. Sunday we spent a few hours in Austin and then headed back to Houston.

Nate and Kim were brave enough to take all 3 boys to the grocery store!

The best picture we got of the happy couple. Congrats Tim and Vani!

We had breakfast at the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls. Yum!

Of course our trip through Austin wouldn't have been complete without a look at the stadium.

Thanks Nate and Kim for helping us out this weekend!

I could not write this post without mentioning that my husband was beside himself with happiness when he got the text from my dad on Saturday night that Ole Miss had been beat by Jacksonville State.

Anxiety

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1

It is isn't something I have battled all my life, but in the last few years it seems that I face anxiety and fear often. Worrying about Hal when he traveled turned into worrying about selling a house turned into stressing over my pregnancy to then stressing A LOT of things once I was a mom. Sadly, these are just a few of the things that I can find myself lost in worry over. The verse above is a reminder to me that I have been set free from worry and fear. Christ has set me free. I can rest in the fact that God is in control. I make a choice to let anxiety and fear control me. God's choice for me is to be free from these things and to rest in Him.

Praying I make that choice today!

H-A-T

Drew has really been into hats lately. I picked this army helmet up the other day and it has been the new favorite. We have had a long few days without AC, but are glad to have it back on! Drew was quite the trooper through the heat. Momma was not quite as great! :)
